Music is essential to my world, and my worlds.

And it almost always has been curated. First, I was stalking Hot 97 with a tap recorder. Next, I was waiting mixtapes from DJ Clue, DJ Kay Slay, DJ Smallz and DJ Drama. Then bloggers like 2 Dope Boyz and Illroots put me on. Now, I listen to playlists like RapCaviar and DSCVR Hip-Hop to hear new music from old and new artists.

That has never stopped me from creating my own experiences. For the second time (technically), I am sharing my own tastes with you all. I would like for you to hear something new, but I would love for you to enjoy.
